Sony HX9V - the horror of digital zoom - original size and quality crop
The only time I use the digital zoom is when I use the camera as a telescope. Then I set the camera to the lowest resolution (VGA), smart zoom and full digital zoom. It is amazing what you can make out far away.

Sony HX9V original size and quality crop
I remember this shot from the HX5 last year, and this one looks better.

"Image Quality" is a function of the end use. My end use is viewing on a 52 inch Sony Bravia HDTV. I downloaded the Quesebesde original photos and viewed them on the HDTV. If a pre-production HX9V looks that good, I am ready to buy.PSPhoto

2011 the year Nippon awoke Godzilla

Last Millennium Nippon (Japan) was for me the land of robots, monsters like Godzilla and made in Japan what replaced the quality seal made in Germany.

Who would have ever imagined the there came a day when Nippon would awake Godzilla for real.

If you might recall, one of Godzilla´s attributes was his Atomic Breath what now covers parts of this planet.

When in 2010 the Gulf Oil disaster happened I tried to figure out if it could impact Europe directly. So I started a blog to collect my findings. You still can find that blog in my HX5 blog link list if you care.

With Fukushima not well covered in the mainstream and a measurable fallout already on my islands I like to share with you important facts what will in the long run impact your life.

Be aware that there are people around who think the story of Radioactive Man is real and that radiation can be good for you, there is also the counter part who thinks we are all doomed and embellish the other way. As usual the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Also I have to tell you how proud I am to be in the European Union who takes so good care of their members like instantly rising, when Japan asked, the allowed radioactive dosis for food substantially and the German speaking states censor now The Simpsons when they try to raise awareness make fun how negligent people are around nuclear power.

People over Japan and also the USA measuring and reporting actual radiation data via safecast.org.

KRAFTWERK - RADIO-ACTIVITYchange Hiroshima to Fukushima

On a personal note, you know the most bleeped out word on American television is fuck as South Park so nicely demonstrated with the Human CentiPad episode. It is used if something is not right. In Germany scheisse (shit) has the same function. For me FUK (from FUKushima) is starting to replace the old swear words for something that is terrible wrong but I can not do anything about it.

Fukushima is constantly poisoning Japan and the rest of the whole planet now for over one year in the name of profit and total moronic ignorance and incompetence.
